When I created the site a few months ago, uploading of user pictures was working perfectly. Today I noticed that some of the members of the community didn't have a photo uploaded to their account. I logged in as the admin and made sure the Picture Support option was enabled under user settings (it was). I gave the directories full read and write permissions with no luck. I checked through the permissions for different roles, but nothing jumped out at me a being wrong.
Is there something obvious I am missing? I have installed various modules, and only noticed the problem today, so I can't narrow it down to a certain module.
Using Drupal 6.2 on a Debian server.
Thanks,

what seems to be the exact
what seems to be the exact problem? is it that users cant upload images?
try this:
the default folder for uploaded images should be 'pictures'
create a new folder and name it 'pictures2' and set permissions to 777
then go to the avatar upload settings and change the path to pictures2
try that, if it doesnt work then we gotta try and narrow down the problem, a better explanation of the problem would help
You got it.. Not only can
You got it.. Not only can users NOT upload a new image by editing their user account, I am the site admin and I can't do it either.
Tried what you suggested with no luck.
I set the default folder to /sites/default/files/images/staffdir upon enabling the user picture feature months ago. The permissions of this folder are 777. It worked fine in the beginning. Users could delete the default image and upload new photos of themselves as often as they liked. Now the upload 'form' isn't even displaying. I'll attach some screen shots of the user settings page and the edit user accounts page.

Once I moved the site to another server, this feature started working again. I didn't change anything. It just started working again... Very strange.
